Today Sporting Kc announced officially on twitter that they will appeal the red card that was given to their newly transferred defender, Aurelien Collin, on Saturday's match against New England, which Sporting lost 3-2.
This comes after much speculation by fans of SKC and the poor decision by MLS to not include the replay of the incident with the highlight reel on mlssoccer.com.
This follows a growing trend seen in Europe, mainly the EPL, to appeal red cards given to players on controversial calls. However, over there it's accepted, here in MLS the card can only be appealed if there was a mistaken identity of the player receiving the red card by the ref.
In SKC's case this might actually work, seeing as the card should have been given to Birahim Diop, after he lightly shoved Benny Feilhaber, not Collin. The team will know whether the league has accepted their appeal plea by midweek.(Wed.-Thurs.)
